Twins Post 6-2 Win Over Texas
The Minnesota Twins beat the Texas Rangers, 6-2. Minnesota pitcher and Brooksville, Florida, native Mike Hampton led the way. The Twins, at 71-65, have now won 7 straight.

It could have been a different outcome for Minnesota, had it not been for Joe Crede, the former first round draft pick . Crede contributed a 2-run home run in the top of the fourth inning to put Minnesota up, 3-0.

"I just tried to make good contact," said Crede.
